I helped develop the Dreaming City's lighting, working on spaces alongside world artists Matt Turner, Marc Thompson, Kyoungche Kim, Kevin Whitmeyer, Julio Juarez, and Brandon Campbell.
Going deep into Awoken territory, we wanted to draw out the fantastical elements, and play up the mystery. For lighting that meant pulling inspiration from John Harris and astronomy - huge glows and atmospheric gradients creating dramatic color blends, as well as celestial twinkles of lens flares. Many unique moments were handcrafted to enhance the sense of wonder, and we collaborated frequently with VFX and Palette artists to achieve the desired visuals.
